How the Internet Works

How the Internet Works

• The Internet is a tangible physical system made to move information. 
• The information is made out of bits and can be describes as any pair of opposites.
•  Bits are sent by electricity, light or radio waves. Light is the best way to send bits and they are sent through a fiber optic cable.
•  Everyone has their own ip address. 
• Internet does not travel through a fixed path. The information travels through different paths and might sometime break down the information and deliver the information at different times.
•  HTML stands for Hyper text markup language. Html could change the way a website looks with either a picture or the change of text. The more html a website has the slower it will load.
•  A secure website will have a lock next to the https. Information is protected by being sent as a encryption. The information is sent within 256 bit keys which will make it impossible to be decrypted.
•  Viruses can easily get into your computer. They are dangerous and can steal private information, take over your device or delete information. 
• DDOS(Distributed denial of service) is when hackers overwhelm a website with too many requests.
